The WD TV Mini media player will work with almost any video, music or photo file you throw at it. Minor criticisms aside, this tiny black box is the perfect companion to older televisions or those with a spare component port.

As already mentioned the remote remains mostly unchanged, with the exception that its finish has also - sensibly - transitioned from glossy to matt. It uses two AAA batteries so those who care about the environment can use rechargeable ones. It's solid...

I gave it a 1 because I have to make AT Least that designation. This piece of junk worked for a few tries, and now I spend more time rebooting it and resetting it and praying that it will stop rolling so I don't feel like such an idiot for buying the...

never works

Easy to get started ; Played almost every format I owned (see below for con) ; Menus worked really well ; Good price

Would not work with some of the more advanced hard drives, but worked fine on most of those available when I purchased the product ; Would not play Hi Def formats (but once the video was reformatted down, played fine)

FREAKING AMAZING as i use to simply hook up my laptop to my tv and play media from that ; Easy to use that my mom can use it which is why i got it. She cant use my laptop very well (newegg censored me)

Did not work right out of the box due to it being set to PAL instead of NTFS (needed for north America region technology and movies) witch gave it a flickering picture in black and white. It wasn't a Hertz problem, just a resolution problem

Played the format I use most, small

Worked for one month, one day powered it up and the color was black and white with no sound, returned for an RMA replacement but it was discontinued

Plays alot of formats so easily

Can be finicky with some 'files' off the internets. But, then again could be problems with associated with those 'files

Easy to set up. Easy menu

Won't play mp4

Plug and Play. Very good quality for SD. Simple

Menus can be difficult to read on some older TVs
